While at the Mental Show starring Luke Jermay, there was a guest entertainer, Ben Seidman, who appeared. It turns, as I found out after the show, that Ben is a Shorewood, WI. native and is trying to make it in show business big time in Las Vegas.
He bills himself and as a comedian/pick pocket. He reminds me of Harry Anderson, when he appeared in Cheers as a pick pocket character, named of course, Harry. Harry was a flim flam man who scammed people and was a pick pocket.
Anyways, Ben came on and performed a few tricks about disappearing rings and watches. It was very impressive. He then brought an audience member and performed a pick pocket trick, where he took things out of both guys front pockets and it ended up being pinned on his back. That was very impressive, but the most impressive was at the end, when the audience members credit card ended up in a place that I could not figure out how he did it.
Ben was very impressive and I hope he is able to make it in Vegas or somewhere else. He looks very young (like out of high school), but his short act is very good.
I always root for Wisconsin people and so I really hope Ben Seidman makes it in show business.
His web site is: http://benseidman.com/ The website is entertaining in it's self. (To bad he went to U.W. Eau Claire, but hey, no hard feelings)
